Quotes 

• Joanne Webster : Male, early 20s. Looks like a single gunshot wound to the back of the head. Been in the water maybe eight to ten hours, according to rigor. I'm estimating the time of death to be around midnight, but I'll know more when I get back to the lab.

  Carrie Wells : [recognizing the victim]  I've seen him before. On a flyer. His name is Sam Miller. He was reported missing last week.

  Al Burns : Looks like we found him.

• Eliot Delson : I just got off this endless conference call with the Tourist Board. Good Lord, those people can chat.

  Al Burns : I assume they want this wrapped up quickly?

  Eliot Delson : They want this wrapped up yesterday. What we do know so far?

• Jay Lee : Okay, these three islands are directly in the current path upriver from where we found Sam's body. I don't recognize any of them.

  Al Burns : Wards Island had the first bridge crossing into Manhattan. South Brother Island, the little one there, that's where Jacob Ruppert, early owner of the Yankees, had a summer house.

  Jay Lee : I guess I'll take Bizarre Trivia for 500, Alex.

  Al Burns : And North Brother Island is where Typhoid Mary was quarantined for thirty years.

  Carrie Wells : [approaching]  Typhoid Mary?

  [remembering Sam's bedroom] 

  Carrie Wells : Sam was reading up on Typhoid Mary. Tell me more about North Brother Island.

  Al Burns : It's deserted now. Nobody's lived there since the '60s. Now it's a bird sanctuary for herons.

  Jay Lee : It sounds like the perfect place to grow weed without being noticed.

  Carrie Wells : And the perfect place...

  Al Burns : To get away with murder.

• Al Burns : For a badass cop, you seem a little jumpy.

  Carrie Wells : I am so not jumpy.

  [hearing a twig snap and a bird screech] 

  Carrie Wells : What was that?

  [seeing a gull squawk as it flies through the air] 

  Carrie Wells : Oh.

  Al Burns : Sometimes a bird sanctuary is just a bird sanctuary.

• Eliot Delson : You left them squatting on North Brother Island?

  Al Burns : Think of it as camping. Or what you've read about camping.

  Eliot Delson : I'll have you know I hiked the entire Inca Trail to the top of Machu Picchu.

  Al Burns : That's walking, not camping.

  Cherie Rollins-Murray : You two are seriously debating this right now?

• Al Burns : Jay, pull up a list from the NITRO computer. Everyone arrested for dealing drugs near Denton University in the past year.

  Jay Lee : You're thinking a drug deal gone wrong?

  Al Burns : Sometimes the simplest answer is the right one.

  Jay Lee : [sarcastic]  Thank you, oh, wise one.

• Al Burns : I was just thinking... if I were heading to a deserted island, I'd take you.

  Carrie Wells : That's sweet.

  Al Burns : Well, 'cause you'd be able to remember all the stuff I'd need to survive. You're like a walking Swiss army knife.

  Carrie Wells : Well, that's not... so sweet. But you know, if I... was headed to a deserted island, I'd take something warm.

  Al Burns : Yeah?

  Carrie Wells : 'Cause at night time, it can get cold, and I would need to... heat up.

  Al Burns : Yeah.

  Carrie Wells : I'd take matches. To make a fire. You know?

  Al Burns : Yeah. Matches.
